SIMULATION OF A MICROPROCESSOR- BASED INDUSTRIAL ARM

A system to control a hydraulic industrial arm using a4- bit microcomputer is described. A supervisory minicomputer can handle global routines such as science analysis and task and trajectory planning while the microcomputer attends to the control of the arm. The microcomputer monitors arm joint positions and sensors, and maintains current joint position when no motion is desired. The supervisory in the form of a sequence of macro- commands. The microcomputer interprets and executes the job and returns the final status of the arm to the minicomputer. The designing of the microprocessor- based industrial arm will base on the component of the system used, the circuit analysis diagram and the flowchart which will help you to write program specification.
